What are some examples of DMR tier III radios? Is my XPR 7550 a tier III?

[Mogley]

same as title. I see on the database alot that says dmr tier III trunking. Ive tried looking up "DMR Tier III radio" on google but I get results for all dmr radios out there even the entry level ones like the tyteras and anytone radios.

whats some examples of DMR tier III radios?

is the XPR 6550 or 7550 a tier III?
If not what is?

XPR5550
XPR7550
R7
NX5200/5300/5400/5700/5800/5900
VP8000
NX3220/3320/3720/3820

Hytera and Tait also make DMR tier 3 capable radios as well.

Keep in mind this is feature licensing dependant, but all the above radios are 'capable' of DMR tier 3 operation.

The XPR 6550 is NOT capable of tier 3 operation.

EF Johnson VP8000 is not Tier 3 capable. Now in a year or so that may change as Tier 3 is said to be under development.

Tait, Simoco, Motorola (second gen and newer TRBO radios), Kenwood NX3000/5000 are going to be the main proponents. Maxon supposedly has something lined up as well.

In order for Motorola radios to work on a tier 3 system, the infrastructure and subscribers will need to be licensed for OPEN mode and not Adcantage mode (Advantage mode is the default and locks out any non-Moto radios). Open mode requires VP approval to sell. TT

The XPR7350e/7550e and XPR5350e/5550e have it from the factory, but you need the Radio Management client and server ($$$$$) to access the features. It's possible there's another way, but I haven't yet found it. It can be added to the non-e radios with a license key (EID). I believe you also need firmware greater than a certain version.

Some higher-end Kenwood NX-series will do it; those also need a license key. We have some NX-3300's running nicely on our Selex / Leonardo - based network, which is currently in the testing phase.

You are the first to mention using Leonardo equipment, any opinions? I see Gary Lorenz in their booth at IWCE.

We have them in a few conventional simulcast systems, both DMR and P25. Once they're set up, they don't seem to need much tweaking. This is the first time we've used them in a trunked system, they will eventually be replacing a Motorola Connect Plus network, which is end-of-life.
